Import Tips
• Calculate raw value using Treasury formula (0.93 or 1.07 minus 0.0175 per degree under 100°) for quota charging
• Monitor USTR country allocations via Federal Register; non-quota excess faces higher duties
• Provide commercial invoice detailing polarization and dry weight sucrose; avoid pitfalls like undeclared molasses content
